[QUOTE="Topcat7, post: 2818879, member: 73372"]I have been adding to my collection of U.S. coins and I (recently) picked up a 1787 Fugio (large) cent. Now I know that it is pretty 'beat-up, but even coins in this state are commanding high prices and this was one I could afford. (I would grade my coin as no more than 'Good'.) I looked my coin up in my copy of the 2017 "Red Book", and then my confusion started. 1 over horizontal 1 ? So I looked up previous comments (on C.T.) about this coin, and I read "Newman 1-B and 1-Ba, and even Newman 11x. I saw the term 'clash' and the comment "Reverse B or CC or L or Z. I also saw a comment about "R inside the label". I have no idea how any of these comments apply to my coin. I don't even know if there is a definitive 'Obverse' and 'Reverse'. Does anyone have any useful advice about my coin that they can give me, please? [ATTACH=full]661371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]661372[/ATTACH] Thank-you.[/QUOTE]
